We've got five, count 'em FIVE, Metal Gear Online Beta keys we're itching to give away. But, we don't want to give them away, we want you to work for them. Quick! Contest time!! The first five people who snap a picture of themselves in a box Metal Gear style and send it our way will get one of these keys, no voting, no nothing. Remember, the Beta runs until May 11th, so time is of the essence. The sooner you hide in a box, the sooner you could be Manapulting. (Online and outside of said box, hopefully.)
Get In A Box, Win Metal Gear Online Beta Key, So Easy!

I don't know if I
can say this... but this is the
Best contest ever
Hmm, do you need a sixth? I got a key from pre-ordering MGS4, and got another for being a GAP member, must be someone out there that can use it!
It'd be cool to be in the beta, but I imagine by the time I took a picture of myself in a box here at work, thus humiliating myself, the contest would be over...
@ ecks dude i could use your key pls
yardguy00@yahoo.com
wow. good luck topping witzbold's famous efforts.
@yardguy00: sure, you asked first, will send it to you right now!
@Ecks:
PLEASE. PLEASE I SWEAR PLEASE. I'D LOVE YOU FOREVER.
Please oh please. Give me one!!!
@Ecks:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
*Crying*
Sweet contest. Hope whoever wins enjoys the beta like I have been!
@yardguy00: *Sends spam and viruses*
I got all excited that I was here as soon as it was posted that I forgot I don't have a PS3 yet.
i have one 2
@IntelSilver: Sorry IntelSilver, he asked first! Hopefully some other people have the same "problem" I had and got an extra key.
@ecks
I got it thanks man!
Someone out there? Please? I need one. I'm on a tight budget. I can't afford to buy the special edition. :(
You could imagine me in a box. I can't get to a camera right now. :)
where were we supposed to send these pics?
@IntelSilver: pm me dude. its ur lucky day
@Dark: Right here?
@Dark: intelsilver@gmail.com
OMG im gonna faint
I have a camera.. and a box.. but I hate MGS.
check ur messages in ur profile
Working open to close right now kinda kills me from playing games anyway... and besides, I JUST threw out all the leftover cardboard from the plane contest... (huh? what plane contest?)... otherwise you know I'm all over contests.
@Dark:
Dude, I can't thank you enough!
YOU ROCK!!!
I sent one i took off my cell phone. I hope its good enough.
@IntelSilver: im assuming this means you got it lol
Hmmm....i've been playing for a couple days now....
and believe me it'll take you some time to just get it running....
Is it better than SUBSISTENCE...yes...so far.
Is it the ultimate multiplayer game ever....no.
As in most PS Online games....not many people using voice...which sucks so that doesn't give me much chance to test it.
I'll reserve my review...right now it gets a B for BETA.
@Dark:
Yeah I did! I'm downloading the thing right now. thanks a lot man.
Wow. I have a beta key, but I want to do this, just because of this codec conversation:
+ Watch video
sent! tips@kotaku.com right?
I wonder if I made it in time
@TheCleaningGuy: Haha wow... I dont remember hearing that conversation in Snake Eater... Are some codec conversations only accessible when ur in a specific situation?
wait a minute?,what have i been playing on the PS3 from the playstation store?....i cant remember needing a key for it,i remember a lot of messing around,and a lot of time wasted waiting for the stupid patch to download
is this another MGObeta then?
@Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science., yardguy00: Isn't it kotakucontestATgmailDOTcom?
i sent my first one to brian.. now i sent to Tips@kotaku.com.. i hope i got there in time.
@Erwin: shit i wasn't sure D=
we sent to contest e-mail? Oh forget it i feel like im spamming now.
@Erwin: thank you for the correction though.
I sent mine to bashcraft@kotaku.com. Don't know if that was the right place or not.
@iamcool388: yeah, like after eating a certain animal you can call up that chick where she would tell you about the animal and such.
people leave the @ marks out of your own or others emails. Unless you like spam mail via webcrawlers.
If anyone else needs a promotional code and doesn't get one through the contest, I have an extra one. Just email nizar17765@gmail.com and request it. Good luck chumps.
Oh and Kotaku, I can't wait to see what contests you'll run for limited edition copies of the game or better yet, the limited edition bundle. Don't have a PS3 yet; I'll be needing one of those please.
lmao... I'ma call fail on this contest. too difficult for late night it sounds like.

It's me...I swear!
@IntelSilver: You don't need to buy the special edition in order to get the beta key...you can just order the regular version at GameStop and get the Metal Gear Saga Vol. 2 DVD (with the beta key inside). If you don't mind waiting until tomorrow, I can probably grab an extra one from work and send you the beta key.
I've clocked 10 hours into MGO, and I must say: It's SO much fun! Knife battles ftw! I'm not much of an online gamer (if at all), but I'm addicted to MGO!
@y2kenjination: LoL, never mind about the offer...that was fast. xD
REALLLYY!!!!!! A contest SO easy that even I could participate in?!?!
Figures I wouldn't have ANY boxes lying around my house.
grr. June can't come soon enough.
haha i won a code who wants it?
I hate to ask, but I'll take it off your hands.
@GeeQnastie:
I hereby retract my previous statement... never underestimate kotakuites
@Dark: You said you had 2? :o The other still availiable?
hey if anyone still has a code i would love one... i've been an MGS fan since the beginning... best games ever!
